Original research???
IMO, the Mangeshkars are Brahmins, If I remember right Saraswats. "Prominent members of the community" needs references -- Redtigerxyz Talk 06:30, 24 June 2009 (UTC)

The Mangeshkars are NOT Brahmins. Dinanath Mangeshkar's parents were NEVER married to each other(his father was already married to a Brahmin lady, his mother was a lower-caste mistress), so he didn't inherit his father's caste. It's also why he wasn't allowed to enter the temple in Mangueshi.

Mangeshkars are Brahmins?
This is something new you told me !

Dinanath Mangeshkar's father was a Brahmin(Karhada,Padye subsect),from Purohit family of Shree Mangirish Maharudra temple at Mangueshi Goa,their family name was Navathe,but only their family was entitled to perform Abhishek of Shree Mangesh Linga,so they were called as Abhishekis.Dinanath Mangeshkar's father's name was Balu Buva Abhisheki,who was a well known Kirtankar in Goa.This family still serves  Shree Sansthan Mangesh.

== Mangeshkars are Gomantak Brahmims

Dinanath Mangeshkars father and mother both are brahmins. Thats why he is from Gomantak brahmin family. I thought children inherited their caste from their fathers .24.187.26.104 (talk) 01:13, 31 August 2010 (UTC)
 * I was told that their (Mangeshkar's) caste is same as that of Dada Keluskar, which I was told was related to the caste of professional performing women. I am not sure, and it is very anecdotal but can some body come up with a source, everywhere Keluskar's caste is written as Brahmin, as much as the fact as he was a professor, for that matter he taught at Wilson School.
